In the last round of games in Group C, Costa Rica and Zambia don't have a chance to advance to the next round. Both teams lost the first two matches and they have zero points. In this game, I predict that Costa Rica won't lose.

Costa Rica didn't have a real chance against Spain and Japan. At the same time, the losses weren't so big as Spain won 3:0 and Japan 2:0. The most interesting part is that Costa Rica hasn't conceded in the 2nd half. Las Ticas have struggled in New Zealand, so much so that their standout player has been goalkeeper Daniela Solera, who leads the tournament with 19 saves. But while the six-foot shot-stopper has faced more shots (24) than anyone else at the tournament, she managed to concede one fewer goal (5) than Zambia’s Eunice Sakala and Morocco’s Khadija Er-Rmichi. The biggest problem for the team is offense. The Central Americans average 3.5 shots and 0.15 xG per match at this World Cup. That ranks 31st in each statistic respectively.

Zambia also lost both games, and the difference has been much bigger in both matches as they lost 5:0 both times and conceded a total of 10 goals. Zambia has been porous in defense. No team at the World Cup has conceded more goals than Zambia (10) or has a higher xG against (10.9). Statistically speaking, these are two of the most underwhelming teams at the 2023 World Cup.

While there's no real reason for this match, it could give free hands for both teams. Despite losing both games 0:5, Zambia is the favorite in this match but their poor offense won't help tonight. Costa Rica has been better on defense and could do some damage on offense. Per FIFA rankings, Costa Rica is 36th best team while Zambia is only 77th, so the Central American team should prove why they are higher or at least get a point.

在C组的最后一轮比赛中，哥斯达黎加和赞比亚没有机会晋级下一轮。两队都输掉了前两场比赛，他们都得零分。在这场比赛中，我预测哥斯达黎加不会输。

哥斯达黎加对西班牙和日本没有真正的机会。与此同时，西班牙队以3:0取胜，日本队以2:0取胜，两队的失利都不算太大。最有趣的部分是哥斯达黎加在下半场没有失球。拉斯蒂卡斯在新西兰队表现不佳，以至于他们最出色的球员是守门员达妮埃拉·索雷拉(Daniela Solera)，她以19次扑救领跑本届杯赛。尽管这位身高6英尺的门将在本届世界杯上遭遇的射门次数(24次)比其他任何人都多，但她丢的球(5次)却比赞比亚的尤尼斯·萨卡拉和摩洛哥的哈蒂贾·埃尔-瑞米奇少1个。球队最大的问题是进攻。本届世界杯，中美洲人场均射门3.5次，射门0.15次。这两项数据分别排在第31位。

赞比亚也输掉了两场比赛，两场比赛的差距更大，两场比赛他们都以5:0输球，共丢了10个球。赞比亚的防守漏洞百出。世界杯上没有一支球队丢的球比赞比亚多(10个)，也没有一支球队比赞比亚丢的球多(10.9个)。从数据上讲，这是2023年世界杯上最平淡无奇的两支球队。

虽然这场比赛没有真正的原因，但它可以让两支球队自由发挥。尽管两场比赛都以0:5输球，但赞比亚在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的，但他们糟糕的进攻对今晚的比赛没有帮助。哥斯达黎加在防守方面做得更好，在进攻端可能会造成一些破坏。根据国际足联的排名，哥斯达黎加队排名第36位，而赞比亚队仅排名第77位，所以中美洲球队应该证明他们为什么更高，或者至少得到一分。
